How to Automate Telegram Crypto News and Sentiment?

Get fast crypto news and sentiment in Telegram. Users send a coin or company name, and the bot replies with a clean summary, links, and a simple sentiment read. It is great for marketing teams, community managers, and founders who need quick updates before posting or making decisions.

Here is how it works. A Telegram message starts the flow. The chat ID is stored as a session ID so replies go back to the right user. An AI agent extracts a single keyword from the message. Ten crypto RSS feeds are pulled and merged. A code step filters articles by the keyword. Another step builds a short prompt that lists the matched articles. GPT 4o summarizes the key moves and gives market sentiment. The text is formatted and sent back to Telegram, ready to share.

To set this up, you need a Telegram bot token and an OpenAI API key. Connect both in n8n and replace the static chatId with the dynamic sessionId so replies reach the sender. Expect faster research and fewer missed updates. Teams can track coins, partners, or topics like NFTs or DeFi and turn results into social posts, internal notes, or quick client updates.

What are the key features?

  • Telegram on message trigger listens for user queries and captures chat IDs for replies.
  • AI keyword agent extracts one clear keyword from the user message to guide filtering.
  • Ten RSS readers pull articles from major crypto sites for wide coverage.
  • Merge step combines all feeds into one list for consistent processing.
  • Code filter matches titles and snippets against the keyword for relevant results.
  • Prompt builder compiles article links into a concise prompt for the model.
  • GPT 4o summarizes key news and gives a simple sentiment read.
  • Formatted Telegram message returns the summary and links to the same user.

What are the benefits?

  • Reduce manual news scanning from 45 minutes to 3 minutes per query
  • Automate 80% of headline sorting by filtering articles with a single keyword
  • Improve relevance by merging 10 crypto news sources into one feed
  • Send results directly in Telegram to cut tool switching by 90%
  • Support many users at once using chat based session IDs
  • Keep consistent sentiment grading for faster marketing decisions

How do you set it up?

  1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
  2. You'll need accounts with Telegram and OpenAI. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
  3. Create a Telegram bot with @BotFather and copy the bot token.
  4. In the n8n credentials manager, create a new Telegram credential. Paste the bot token and save.
  5. Open the Telegram Trigger node and select your Telegram credential. Save the node.
  6. Open the Telegram Send node and select the same Telegram credential so both nodes use the same bot.
  7. Generate an OpenAI API key in your OpenAI account. Keep it secure.
  8. In n8n credentials, create a new OpenAI credential and paste the API key. Save.
  9. Open the OpenAI model nodes and choose your OpenAI credential for both the keyword agent and the summarizer.
  10. Set the Telegram Send node chatId to use the dynamic sessionId. Use the expression {{$json.sessionId}} so replies go to the correct user.
  11. Activate the workflow. Send a test message like Bitcoin to your Telegram bot and confirm you receive a summary.
  12. If you get no results, check the keyword agent output and adjust the system message to refine keyword extraction.
  13. If the bot does not respond, verify the bot token, ensure the workflow is active, and confirm the bot is added to the chat.
  14. To expand coverage, open each RSS node and add more feeds or replace existing URLs that match your niche.
  15. Review execution logs in n8n if errors appear, especially for RSS timeouts or invalid chat IDs.
